Note:
Ernest de Massey was the younger son of a well-to-do French family that sailed to America and the Gold Rush in the spring of 1849. He eventually settled in San Francisco, where he lived until his return to Europe in 1857. A Frenchman in the gold rush (1927) is a translation of de Massey's journal covering his voyage to California, gold mining on the Trinity River, 1850, and visits to San José, Santa Cruz, and San Juan Bautista; and his career as a San Francisco businessman and journalist, 1850-1851

This narrative, beginning with the arrival in San Francisco (part III of the original) was printed in volume V of the Quarterly of the California historical society in 1926.--Notes. - Translated from the manuscript now the property of the Los Angeles public library
